Biggest opportunity: “importer” and “migration” aren't earning a slot. You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

Install conversion
How it's measured →0.4%
of downloads still active
At least 700 of 163.9K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Backup plugin keeps 1.6%, across 284 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Backup plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
This plugin shipped 10 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |

42 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 6 listed. 36 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 2 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it
- “importer” and “migration” aren't earning a slot. You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.
- Already on top for “drupal to wordpress”. #1 without listing it. A tag would change little there; your slots are better spent on a search you don't yet win.

If you’re looking to migrate from Drupal to WP, look no further, this plugin works perfectly. I had multi language Drupal with more than 50.000 posts and have successfully migrated them to WP.

Bought the Pro version because lots of users and custom fields, and import looks good.

Support done by FredericGilles team was excellent 🙂 Good job 😊

I’ve now used this plugin (plus their CCK and Entity Reference plugins) to migrate 12 Drupal 7 websites to WordPress. Some of these sites had many content types and over 5000 nodes with custom fields and complex entity reference fields. I am no PHP back-end person, just a site builder, and this worked well for me. There are a bunch of fiddly bits needed (edits to php.ini and wpconfig.php) but support walked me through everything with great patience.

This is a terrific plugin that has saved me days or possibly weeks migrating a Drupal site. As others have noted, the support is excellent. I came across a bit of an issue with some Drupal entity references, but this got resolved thanks to Frédéric, who responded very rapidly to my request and worked diligently to fix it.

This plugin is a life saver – extremely user friendly and makes a complex process much simpler to handle even without an advanced technological background. But I’d like to especially give a shoutout to Byron who I had initially got in touch with through support. Byron worked painstakingly to figure out issues that I came across migrating a larger site. He was so patient and easy to work with, especially during times where I was really struggling to find an answer – I truly appreciate this and recognize how rare this is. Thank you for this incredible plugin and your incredible team and thanks again Byron for all of your help.
